Chapter 168. Reasons why you can't lose
Quietly putting his hands in his pockets, Li Wei was still inspecting the construction of the temporary fortress, which had been built for nearly half a month, and the city wall, which was a temporary match, gradually began to twist, which made him frown slightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although the role of the temporary fortress is very small at present, in addition to being used as a barracks for sailors, it is used as a centralized detention camp for the group of water thief captives, and the tent is casually pulled over to form a curtain, covering the entire water thief captivity's detention area, and it has become their shelter at night, but even if this group of guys wants to go to the toilet, they must be reported before they can be taken by the Barbary pirates.
The custody of this group of water thieves is still very strict, and it has not decreased with the slightest delay of time, and there are even a few water thieves who wanted to jump into the sea by going to the toilet before, but they were chased into the sea by the Barbary pirates, and they cut their heads with their own scimitars before swimming back again.
Although those water thieves are familiar with the nature of water, this group of pirates is even more familiar with the nature of water, not to mention that they have been hungry for so long, and their weak bodies Even if the Barbary pirates do not jump, this group of guys will not be able to swim far before they will exhaust their strength and drown.
You know, swimming is a lot of work!
But even so, the Barbary pirates treated this group of pirate captives even more harshly, and even the slightest mistake was a punch and kick, and more often the whip made of cowhide would be pulled fiercely, without the slightest mercy.
At the same time, they are the same for those elven captives, although they cannot be seen, but when there is something wrong with the elven captives in the basement, a whip will be drawn first, and after the elves are all whip marks on their faces, there will be pirates who ask what happened, so that in the end, the elves are numb to these pirates and dare not say anything casually.
Of course, Levi also knew all this, but he didn't think that this group of Barbary pirates did anything wrong, for a group of enemies who were already enemies, there was no Geneva Convention to talk about, and not killing all of these guys has proved Levi's mercy.
And just as Levi wanted to say something to this group of pirates, his heart couldn't help beating slightly, making his emotions become a little heavy, and he slowly raised his head with a little doubt, and at this time, at the hill battery, the crisp sound of flintlock guns firing also appeared in his ears, and the abruptness almost caught the sailors of the entire Cape Town off guard.
"Bah-" "Bah-" "Bah-"
The sound of the flintlock pistol firing appeared three times, and the crisp sound echoed back and forth in this space, but it was also clearly transmitted to the ears of the surrounding sailors and residents, and even aroused a noisy number of birds, quacking and rushing into the sky, surprised and did not know what was happening, staring at the human beings below who seemed to be stiffened, and the little brain could not understand what was wrong with them.
But this stiffness did not last for two or three seconds, and almost all of the people's faces instantly became solemn, and under the loud reprimand of their respective captains, both the sailors and the residents began to assemble quickly, and the emotions on their faces were no longer the fatigue of the previous hard work, but a little more unusually excited.
This is the highest level of warning sign, and it belongs to the way they are all informed of messaging.
If there is a small number of water thieves attacking, then fire one shot, if there are a number of water thieves attacking, then fire two shots, if there are far more water thieves they can deal with, then simply fire three shots, this represents the highest level of warning signals, and everyone needs to start desperate!
The Spanish sailors had begun to assemble completely, the patrols that were still patrolling had come together quickly, and the queue of three hundred people had also formed in a very short time, and the straight three lines were lined up, as if they were at a military parade, with flintlock pistols on their shoulders, their faces calm and their eyes were excited, and they all slowly gasped, waiting for orders belonging to their kings.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wilmorton has asked me to inform you that the Cutul River Thieves are coming!"
Li Wei quickly walked out of the temporary fortress, and at the hill fort, a sailor who came quickly had already come to his side, panting for two breaths, and after calming down, he also pointed loudly in the direction of the inland of the Yuqiao River and said: "The highest level of alert, the size of that group of water thieves, there are a lot!" ”
"A lot? How many? ”
Looking at the herald sailor who was already out of breath, Levi also patted him on the shoulder slowly, signaling that he didn't have to work so hard, but his face was already stern and dignified, looking at the hill fort that had been arranged in full swing, he also nodded as if comforting himself: "That guy from Wilmot is stationed there, even if there are more water thieves, I can still rest assured." ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Wilmot has a preliminary estimate that there are more than fifty light water pirate warships, and at least fifteen hundred water thieves are coming!"
But the sailor who gave the order coughed heavily, and his trachea seemed to be shaking with his violent running, but he still forcibly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the loud team Li Wei reported: "The number of enemies is large, and there is no guarantee that all enemy troops will be intercepted at the hill battery, so it is recommended that a second line of defense be arranged on the sea, and at the same time be prepared for a decisive battle and hand-to-hand combat on land!" ”
"It doesn't look like it's going to be good."
Squinting slightly, Levi suddenly regretted the arrangement of letting the six light Garry warships and Grimm and Thor go to Grey Mist City first, if the two of them were here at this time, they could at least temporarily serve as commanders and be responsible for the defense of other defensive lines.
But there are not so many regrets, even if there are so many water thieves, Levi has a little pride in his heart, slowly swallowed and spits, he turned his head to look at the sailors who have been lined up one by one, and there is also an equally excited smile on his face, and he commanded them loudly: "The sailors of the Galen sailing ship will upload it immediately, and the boatswain will be responsible for commanding the battle, and the target will be anyone who enters the sea, the pirate warship!" ”
"Understand, Your Majesty, your sailors will do their best!"
Immediately more than sixty people stepped forward in order, they were the sailors of the galleon of the galleon, and now there were a hundred sailors on it, but at the same time the sailors of a heavy galleon came out, and they needed to transport these sailors back to the ship, after all, the galleon was still thirty or forty meters from the shore, and it was impossible to enter the shallow shoal, which was only four or five meters deep.
Hall had also walked out of the makeshift fortress quickly, and when he saw this group of sailors who were about to return to the ship, his face was also slightly frowned, and after the long story of the herald sailors, he also directly reached out to stop them, and at the same time turned his head and suggested to Levi: "You don't need everyone to go back, and at the same time leave their flintlock pistols, we need these sailors!" ”
"Even if those thieves enter the sea, our galleons will be able to deal with them easily, but we must pay attention to the Ketuf river thieves on land, because they can't be unaware that we have hill forts, so even if they go down the river and seize them, they can't be full of them!"
After all, he was a captain and a naval minister who was proficient in military affairs, and his analysis was not inferior even to that of a professional marine staff officer, especially when he turned his head to look at the more than sixty Spanish sailors who were walking down at the hill battery, and were carrying flintlock pistols and running quickly towards this side, he also took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wilmot also understands what he means, we need to defeat their army directly on the shore!" ”
"Are you sure?"
Breathing slowly, Levi also calmed down his excited and restless emotions, looked at Hall's calm and serious face, nodded heavily, and directly handed over all the overall command to the loyal general under him, and said, "Then it's up to you to arrange the tactics!" ”
"Understood!" Hall immediately saluted respectfully, and accepted Levi's appointment without hesitation. Even if he is an admiral, he still has research on land warfare, especially Wilmot can't get out of the garrison hill battery, so Hall, who is also the commander of the first line of the combat sequence, deserves to be the main commander of the operation.
"Send someone to the galleon Galen to deliver the order, the Yuqiao River estuary will be anchored, and the side gun emplacements will all be opened!"
Hall began to issue his orders in an orderly manner, and looking at the galleon that was already ready in the distance, the whole person also took a deep breath, and quickly said to the sailors beside him with a series of orders: "Ask the galleon to leave all the gunners, and the other sailors to return to join the Marine Column, and at the same time ask all the male residents to assemble, pick up all the weapons and prepare for battle!" ”
"Understood!" Several of the sailors in charge of the herald nodded immediately, and when Hall's order was given, they turned around and quickly rushed in their respective directions, and at the same time beckoned their companions to start going to the sea or entering traditional houses, mobilizing the entire war potential of Cape Town.
"There are many of them, but they are useless."
Levi's eyes also narrowed slightly, although he hadn't seen the pirate warship on the Yuqiao River, he still took a deep breath, the scimitar in his hand was already clenched, and he looked at the sailors and male Spanish residents in front of him, and nodded to Hall: "We can't lose." ”
